Global carbon emissions from fossil fuels are projected to rise by 1.1% in 2025, reaching a record 38.1 billion tonnes, despite rapid renewable energy growth, as demand outpaces clean energy adoption, pushing the 1.5°C carbon budget close to exhaustion, notes the 2025 Global Carbon Budget report. This increase is driven by coal, oil, and gas, with India and China showing slower growth but still contributing to the global rise, while the U.S. shows a significant uptick.

Key Details:-
Record Highs: -
Fossil fuel CO2 emissions are expected to hit their highest levels ever in 2025.
Major Contributors: -
China remains the largest emitter, with the U.S. seeing a sharp increase, while India's growth slows but continues.
Underlying Factors: -
Increased energy demand, weather-driven needs, and energy system gaps fuel the rise, while the slowing growth in some nations (like India due to renewables and early monsoons) provides a slight counter-balance.
Urgent Warning: -
The remaining carbon budget for limiting warming to 1.5°C is rapidly diminishing, highlighting the gap between current trends and Paris Agreement goals, say University of Exeter and Mongabay.
